I think most of the whiny cocksuckers like St. Louis and Staal who demand to only play for the Rags just enjoy losing more in NY than they enjoy losing elsewhere. More to do to get your mind off of the disappointment of perpetual underachievement.

In fairness, they have gotten to two Conference Finals and a SC Final in the past four seasons.  But it feels like the window is going to close in a hurry if they keep making moves like this.  This was a pretty hefty price to pay for a rental who looks like his best days are well behind him.  They're as "right now" as it gets.

I don't know. I know 2nd round picks helps us with future endeavors, but what can we get back that will help up in the next couple of seasons?

You can trade picks for someone that can help the big club in the offseason. Similar to Palmieri.

And Jordan wanted to play with him.....now he has to play with himself...... I just don't see this move by the Rags as anything huge.

He's played with one, now he'll play with the other. As you said, that's not exactly a big move, does give them a veteran with leadership skills and the benefits that come with that, but in terms of it being a "big splash" as it was reported, it's more like when my daughter accidentally steps in a puddle.

Agreed.....he'll get some points but won't be enough to lead them to a cup. Every year it seems they try and buy a cup with rental players and this year the results will be the same.

I mean, I think that's the whole idea at the trade deadline if you are close, but they do it more than most and without success.

Hoping that trend continues, of course.

Yeah I thought he'd bring back more than that... I'd rather keep him than deal him for a mid-rounder.

Then you overrated his value.  He's a middling d-man that isn't physical or particularly offensively gifted, and had a -15 after being a scrap heap signing.  A third was about all I was expecting/hoping for.
